#1 Wow! That's a good start. Can we copy and implement that in the U.S. starting with Reid?

#2 Unfortunately, the Senate in the US is suppose to represent the State's interests (not unions - see Reid). And no, going back to non-elected appointees will not solve the problem as IL has amply demonstrated, they'll just represent the 'machine'. The best I've figured out so far is to give every county or parish an electoral vote in the selection of the state's Senator. That will mean that large metro areas (which were not envisioned by the founders) will not overwhelm the interests of the remainder of the state in protecting its overall interests in the Senate.
